My Realist 3.5 had the leak.  It seemes do be coming through the 
take-up end of the camera.  I tried putting a new felt strip on the 
camera body that engaged the light-blocking ridge when the back was 
locked, but the leak persisted.  My final solution was to put a piece 
of electrical tape on the right end of the camera, and always to use 
the camera in its case.  No more problem, but the gap is still there, 
I'm sure.
